<Our item number 129750><B>1834 Capped Bust Half Dollar. Small date and letters. O-114, R1. PCGS graded MS-64.</B> Lovely gold and blue toning. Dancing cartwheel luster careens off the satiny surfaces of this attractively toned MS64 bust half dollar. A blend of shades can be seen on both sides. The strike is somewhat spongy on stars as well as on the reverse, though the design elements are sharper towards the centers. The seventh and final stylistic change to Reich&#39;s venerable capped bust left half dollar is seen in the 1834 to 1836 lettered edge pieces. There had been a major work-over by the mint, with a smaller, sharper face and a downward-tilting bust line. Stars also are more compact. Most of these modifications aimed at improving the striking quality of the dies. <B>Pop 26; 7 in 65; 1 in 66.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 6166&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;3,200 - 3,400. <BR><BR>Our item number 129750<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/129750.jpg"> <BR>< IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/129750N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/129750N3.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/129750N4.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
